you rang?

I have been extremely busy at a workshop that was held here in Birmingham this week. I took a break one afternoon and evening to slip back into my comfort zone and paint a curious cow. I have painted from this photo before but I did this one larger and changed a few things. I think I have a thing for brown cows. They are my favorite. This is painted on a 20 x 20"gallery wrap canvas. I sold most of my cow paintings so I am happy to paint a new herd.

Today was my last day of Nancy Chaboun's figure painting workshop. I had a great time and feel like I learned lots. Will post a painting tomorrrow and tell a little more about it.

About Me

Hi, I am Carol Morgan Carmichael and I live in Vestavia Hills, Alabama with my husband Dan.I have always loved drawing and have translated that into a love of oil painting after working with some great teachers.
I graduated from Birmingham Southern College with a degree in art education. I taught art at Homewood High School for four years and then retired to raise twin sons. Another son came along two years later.
My subject matter is all over the board. I enjoy painting still life, animals, figuratives, and beach scenes. I use oil paint because of its buttery consistency and forgiving nature. You can't beat the luminosity of the finished product.
I am definitely a work in progress. If you are interested in my work, contact me by e mail at carolcarmike@att.net.
